What are the best things to do in Miami?

I live in Jacksonville, Florida, but I’ve never ventured that far south in the state. I want to go to the beaches in Miami, but I’m not sure what else I should do while I’m there. What are some of the best things to do in Miami?

Miami is a far cry from Jacksonville in terms of culture, food, and just about everything else, but
Florida
is just kinda weird like that. If you take the journey down to Miami, the beaches are a must, but don’t miss out on other activities. Here are the best things to do in Miami:
  • Go to the Venetian Pool. The only pool that’s on the National Register of Historic Places, this pool was built in 1923. Each day, it’s drained and refilled with spring water from underground. Admission is $13, but it’s certainly a memorable experience.
  • Head to the Monkey Jungle. This 30-acre park is the opposite of a traditional zoo. Steel cage tunnels wind their way through the habitat while all the monkeys run free.
  • Eat all of the Cuban sandwiches you can. The debate rages on about where to buy the best Cuban, but in all likelihood, the divier the spot, the better the sandwich.
Although the drive from Jacksonville to Miami is only about five hours, getting adequate car insurance is a necessity before you leave. If you haven’t reviewed your car insurance recently, use the
